Thats interesting to know. I'm sure the way in which he put it though was a new shell was purchased, and it was built around that, the shell being a 90 spec.........so how can a series 1 engine qualify for any points, like the gearbox and so forth.....??? And even more to the point, if no such car existed before.....it can never qualify, if u get what i mean. Complete waste of time even though it was a very tidy motor (which u would expect)

Just one other thing aswell:

NB. Where there is evidence that two vehicles have been welded together to form one (i.e. 'Cut and Shut') a 'Q' mark will be allocated. ESVA/SVA/MSVA will be required.

I'm amazed to read that!!!! I wouldn't of thought anyone would endorse such things to be on the road no matter how many checks they do!!!
